A lifelong pioneer who's only accomplishment is
bragging about how many years she has been
pioneering! Looks down her nose & says "what
have YOU been doing" haha
it seems every cong seems to have some guy who is 35 and never had a job or moved out of mom and dads basement.. i knew a guy who just hand out magazines at work so he would get eventually fired and could sleep in till noon everyday.
of course his elder father though he was a real matyr cause he kept losing jobs for jehovah.
i have an electrican friend who apprenticed some jw kid till he got his ticket and he quit him to pioneering.

ok so... how to condense all the flip-flops and doctrinal changes, and show graphically how the different doctrines changed, and when?.
ttatt in a can!!.
enjoy ;).
miss k and her friend miss w arrived promptly today.
our scheduled topic of discussion: jesus' claim to be "the way, the truth and the life..." john 14:6 since she was basing this topic choice on the fact that i had quoted that verse, i'm not sure why... she spent what seemed like a very long time, hopping through scriptures that all said that jesus was the truth, the way, or the life.
ok, so we agreed... i kept waiting for her to get to a point, or sway from this principle.. of course, she summed up with scriptures that show how jesus submits to the father, and what does that mean we should do?
Nice going kid!
GethShan ...hello & welcome from me too!

outline to show the how you involved the
authorities regarding your human rights!
Maybe departments, names & numbers...etc
Lovely to have you here!

"that which can be asserted without evidence, can.
be dismissed without evidence.
" - christopher hitchens.
After a year has passed ... this thread is still inspiring,
confirming and freeing.
Unlike wt crap that is made up to push & poke the R&F
into attending meetings & ASSemblies ... then to be
discarded apostate fodder a few mths later!
Then more "truths" are pulled out of their collective asses
and the game continues on!
DontCallMeShirley luv ya guy!

this is a rumor i heard back in november, it comes to me third or fourth-hand.
feel free to poke holes.
i have many doubts about this myself.
Watchtower organization can change anything now,
and not many even notice. 3 main reasons why ...>
*
1. Jehovah's witnesses in general, really don't care
what the 'flavour of the day' is! "Even if they are wrong".
2. For the most part, the old timers have died off, or
are soon gone! Ex jws like me, do remember & do
care! They can hardly wait until we all disappear!
3. My grandchildren, who are the recipients of this
newlite ....have no idea about 1914, 1918, 1919,
1975, Beth Sarim/Beth/Shan, drunken Rutherford
who banned all holidays to keep family members
separated etc ....they really have no idea. They
only see the social aspect...instant friends who
are commanded to love you...lots of them!
Service is fun now 'cause you get to be with
your friends ......persecution, tar & feathering,
thrown in jail ...hhhhmm never heard of that!
*
Oh yeah, they are laughing at us. With every
new trick they pull ...they are laughing!
Because KH witnesses don't care & don't want
to think!
first off - for those lurkers who feel guilty just for being on this site and reading this (even if you don't read any further, as it is your right to choose that course) i want you to know that you're not alone in what you're going through or in what you are feeling.
if you read on, i hope my experience may be of some small help to you.. this may be long, but i'll try to organize it in a way that doesn't make it painful to read.
to start, i feel it is most beneficial if i'm upfront and honest with my goals from posting this, which are (in order of the degree to which they motivated me):.
Welcome Joe ...I hope it won't be too long before
Mrs Joe joins you!
Your thoughts are right on the money! Clear & concise.
All the best to you both ...looking forward to hearing more.

Gorby .... you might be interested in this video,
I love these friends ..Mike & Kim.... talking about
the Elders instruction pages regarding kingdom hall
projects, and the financing...... info that R&F is not
privy to. They will send you a scan.
